Proud to Be a Woman



Look what came in the mail - our official WOMAN CARDS!

Now before you get all "ugh, those are from Hillary's campaign" (heck yes they are), let me explain why I am so bothered by Trump's derisive use of this phrase ...

My woman card doesn't mean being a woman is my only defining characteristic. It doesn't mean I vote with, agree with or understand all other women. And it most certainly doesn't mean I'm against men. (That last notion irks me to no end.)

I'll tell you what it does mean. It means I am an intelligent, compassionate, strong, capable human being who deserves the same respect, liberties and opportunities as any other person. It means I dream and I achieve. It means I aspire to inspire. It means I believe in the power of women to create change and build a beautiful future for our world. It means I stand with other women. And, it means I stand with men who stand with women.

I am damn proud to be a WOMAN.
